Ottawa Puzzles!...who are we?

We're an informal not-for-profit association. The admin team consists of avid puzzlers and volunteers from the Ottawa area. All the events are priced to cover the costs incurred in holding the events. For more information, either come to one of our free socials or email us (ottawapuzzles@gmail.com).

Question 3

What if I don't finish within the time limit?

Accepted Answer

That's ok! It really doesn't matter at all because remember, this is for fun! If the image has fur, we probably won't finish either! You still get to keep the puzzle and  we can still rank your position based on how complete your puzzle is (see rules for more information).

Question 4

What can I win?

Accepted Answer

The top two finishers will receive prizes.  There may also be random door prizes and additional prizes.

Question 5

What if I don't have a Team or we have spots available on our Team?

Accepted Answer

We can help find you a team or try and complete your team! Come to our free puzzle socials and meet potential teammates that way. Or, you can register for an afternoon Teams spot (if there is one available), indicate you are looking for a Team or how many spots you have and we'll help out.

Question 6

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

You are all that is really needed! A box top holder and sorting trays are allowed (but you cannot get in other's way). A timer is optional - there will be a timer displayed, but most people like to record their own time. Please see the link in the Rules section for all additional information.

Question 7

What happens if the event I want is sold out?

Accepted Answer

Please email ottawapuzzles@gmail.com and let us know which event(s) you wanted to register for and we'll add you to a waitlist.
